Opticians
At Inwood House, we ensure that every resident has access to the care they need, including visits from opticians for those who are unable to go out. Our team arranges these appointments to make sure residents receive regular eye care without the hassle of leaving the comfort of their home. For residents who do wish to go out, we provide dedicated escorts to accompany them, ensuring their safety and comfort during outings.
GP and Specialist Nurse visits
We provide regular GP visits for all our residents to ensure their health needs are met with personalised and ongoing care. These visits allow for continuous monitoring of their well-being and prompt attention to any medical concerns. Additionally, we offer ear syringing services to address ear health, helping to prevent discomfort and maintain optimal hearing for our residents. These services are part of our commitment to ensuring the highest level of care and attention for each resident's overall health.
Audiology
Regular hearing assessments are important for detecting any changes in hearing and addressing potential issues early on, which can significantly improve quality of life. Our staff is on hand to assist residents with transportation and offer support throughout the appointment, ensuring a smooth and comfortable experience. By facilitating easy access to audiology care, we help residents maintain their hearing health, stay connected with others, and enhance their overall well-being
Sensory Impairments
We recognize that sensory impairments, which may involve challenges related to vision, hearing, or touch, can profoundly affect an individual's daily experiences and overall quality of life. At Inwood House, we are committed to addressing these challenges comprehensively. We provide a diverse array of services and adaptations designed specifically to meet the unique needs of our residents.
Our approach includes the implementation of tailored communication methods that accommodate various sensory needs, ensuring that residents have clear and effective ways to express themselves and interact with others.
We prioritize the creation of sensory-friendly environments. This involves thoughtful design elements, such as soft lighting, minimal distractions, and homely interior throughout the home, all aimed at promoting comfort and ease of navigation for individuals with sensory sensitivities.
Ultimately, our goal is to empower each resident by fostering a sense of belonging and engagement in their surroundings. We strive to ensure that everyone in our care feels valued, supported, and fully capable of participating in their daily lives, thereby enhancing their overall well-being and satisfaction.
“In all this time I have constantly marvelled at how well the patient and staff are cared for. The interaction with the patients has at times almost moved me to tears. I’ve never seen such kindness and happy patients."
